Guided+Practice

This allows the students a chance to work on their own or in small groups with teacher assistance, before jumping into the assignment on their own.

 * === Students work in small groups to complete a graphic organizer or mind map ===
 * === Pairs take a section of text and present main idea to class in a one pager - a visual/graphic with only 5 words ===
 * === Working together, students solve practice questions and make sure that they can explain the answers to someone not in their group. ===
 * === ABC brainstorm - students list all characteristics for the concept using the alphabet as the guide ===
 * === Make up mnemonics - Teacher models how to create and use mnemonics. Students practice developing their own mnemonics. ===
 * === Assigned Questions - Assigned questions are those prepared by the teacher to be answered by individuals or small groups of students. Students discuss their responses among one another or with the teacher. Particular positions or points-of-view should be supported by evidence. In some instances, it may be desirable for students to generate their own set of questions. (L) ===
 * === Dictologs - Teacher chooses a passage rich in content. Students are told to listen the first time you read it and write down key words and phrases the next two times you read it. Students then work with a partner to reconstruct the text. Form groups of 4 to compare reconstructions. Share reconstructions and then re-read the original. (L) ===
 * === Students work together to create a Frayer diagram of vocabulary term(s) from the lesson. (L) ===
